Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1991 Swiss 250 Francs gold coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 700th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation. The coin's obverse side depicts a stylized image of the Swiss federal coat of arms, surrounded by the inscription "CONFÉDÉRATION SUISSE" and the date "1991". The reverse side features a rendering of the Swiss national hero, William Tell, with his famous apple-shooting scene, along with the coin's denomination and the Latin phrase "NITIMUR IN VITAS" (We aim at life), which is a reference to the legendary foundation of Switzerland. This coin is considered a collector's item and is not meant for circulation, making it a valuable addition to any numismatic collection.
